CRASH!!

This evening, around 7 p.m. as we were driving to get milkshakes.

Delaney: Crash, Daddy.

Chris: Crash what?

Delaney: Crash the car, Daddy.

Chris: Crash the car?

Delaney: Yes.  Crash the car…into another car.

Me:  We don’t want to crash the car; someone might get hurt.

Chris: Your toy cars at home can crash, but grown-up cars can’t crash.

Delaney: Oh.

Delaney: Mommy crashed her car.  Cause we have this new car.  Cause she got it for me.

Chris: Someone crashed into Mommy’s car - Mommy didn’t crash it.

Delaney: Mommy’s car is crashed.  Cause I like this new car.  I like it.

Chris: This is only our car for a little while, then our old car comes back.

Delaney: Cause I like this new car, Daddy.  I don’t want our old car.  I want THIS car!

Yep, got our rental today.  For four days, I’m a Prius driver - woot!  Apparently Delaney likes our new car now, but this is a new phenomenon.  When she saw it in the driveway this morning, she said:

Delaney: Hey, peoples are here!

Me: People are here?  Who?

Delaney: Those guys.

Me: looking out the window I don’t see any guys.

Delaney: In that car!

Me: Oh, that’s our car for this week while Mommy’s car is getting fixed.  We’re borrowing it.

Delaney: Oh.  I don’t like that car.  Where’s our car?  I want our car back.

Funny how you can change your mind so quickly when you are 3!

    I’m jealous… I want a Prius… :) Nah, not REALLY… how would I fit two kids, two carseats, two strollers, a milk crate full of breast-feeding books, about 24 kids board books, four to six carriers, a grocery bag full of snacks, a few jackets/hats, etc… in a Prius?
